Getting started

Creating an application with Angular and React Native means creating an actual React Native project, in which an Angular application runs.

As a consequence, all the Angular features are available to you: http, router, directives, dependency injection, etc. And, at the same time, all the React Native tools and features are also available.

The only exception are the high-level React components (View, Picker, Text, Image, etc), but they all exist as ambient Angular components that can be used in applications.

Setup

Please check the React Native documentation for:

• iOS requirements
• Getting started on Linux
• Android setup
• Linux and Windows support

First application

For a quick start, clone the seed application and follow the instructions in the README.

The steps are:

git clone https://github.com/mlaval/angular-react-native-seed.git
cd angular-react-native-seed
npm install -g gulp react-native-cli typings
npm install
gulp init
    gulp start.ios
    (OR)
    gulp start.android

Going further

Most guides from the React Native documentation are applicable. They are a valuable source of information, expecially when it comes to performance, debugging, etc.
